| strobe2020 | i need to do a fresh install from 18.04 to 20.04 and wanted to keep my existing partition structure. if i do a fresh install and recreate user 'foo' will all the personal data in /home/foo be overwritten over just the config stuff? /home is on its own partition | 03:20 |
| strobe2020 | i'm trying to avoid having to move personal files off /home/foo, then back over | 03:22 |
| strobe2020 | sorry if it's a dumb question, but i've never tried it before | 03:22 |
| krytarik | I believe the key to the external home partition not being overwritten on installation is to not tick 'format' >_< | 03:24 |
| strobe2020 | krytarik, but what about all the user config stuff that's relevant to 18.04? Does it get overwritten or ignored? I don't want to break the system having conflicting config files, etc. | 03:28 |
| strobe2020 | The other solution I'm guessing is easier is to just rename the $USER home folder, keep it on the partition and then just move the personal files over to the new user home folder | 03:29 |
| krytarik | Well yeah, keeping old potentially conflicting user config around is always the downside of keeping the home directory. So yes, doing it the other way around would be an option. | 03:31 |
| strobe2020 | I'm still not sure if mv actually copies the data to the new location or just updates the file system pointers. I'm trying to avoid copying over gigs of data | 03:33 |
| krytarik | Well, if it's on the same partition, there is no need to physically move the data of course - but it won't matter in this case, the installer is not a forensic tool trying to destroy all the user's previous home data. XD | 03:36 |
| strobe2020 | krytarik, Yeah, I'll probably just rename the folder, then create a soft link inside the new home folder | 03:39 |
| visualshock | I have just installed lubuntu on a hp stream 13, but I get a black screen when I start the laptop. How can I fix this? | 11:05 |
| oerheks | !nomodeset | 11:07 |
| ubottu | Systems with certain graphics chipsets may not boot properly out of the box. "Temporarily Add a Kernel Boot Parameter for Testing" as discussed at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/KernelBootParameters to add the "nomodeset" parameter there. | 11:07 |
| oerheks | maybe this is your fix too .. | 11:07 |
| visualshock | It already has nomodeset | 11:11 |
| visualshock | I will just try to install lubuntu again | 11:19 |
| studio | ok | 16:59 |
| studio | hullo | 16:59 |
| studio | I am looking for some help | 17:00 |
| studio | anybody here ? | 17:00 |
| lubot | <Michaël Van Bogaert> What can we do for you? | 17:28 |
| tomreyn | you missed the 1 minute span from when they finished their question to when they left | 17:52 |
| strobe2020 | I just tried to install 20.04 on a VM and installation failed: Boost.Python error in job "packages" | 20:49 |
| strobe2020 | apparently, it has to do with a "get country" function that doesn't execute if there's no network connection. | 21:07 |
| strobe2020 | someone else suggested just ignoring the error and rebooting, which i've done and everything seems to be working, but i don't really know if it's a corrupted install | 21:07 |
| Kamilion | *sigh* Virtualbox guest additions 6.1.12 break the lubuntu desktop login scripts on focal... | 21:15 |
